Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus
Thank you
The first day of our vacation (9/8) was spent with our dear friends Sally and Gary at their home in Yadkin County, NC
Both are retired teachers. Gary has a small vineyard. Pictured below. At the end of September, he has a pick your own event. Folks come from all over for his grapes.

The second day of vacation (9/9) we four hopped in their car...drove ~2 1/2 hours southwest to Abingdon, VA. In July, we purchased tickets to see a Play at the Barter Theater~~
We selected Murder for Two...OMCs was it an excellent choice too.

Play was 1:45 minutes no intermission!!
MURDER FOR TWO
Book by Kellen Blair and Joe Kinosian, Lyrics by Kellen Blair, Music by Joe Kinosian
SEPTEMBER 5TH - NOVEMBER 2ND AT BARTER'S SMITH THEATRE
The perfect blend of music, mayhem and murder! In this hilarious 90-minute show, 2 performers play 13 roles — not to mention the piano — in a witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries. Called “ingenious” by The New York Times, Murder for Two is definitely a must-see!
The description said: "A musical Comedy to Die For"
a Cast of Two and let me say these two young men were all kinds of talented. Beautiful voices and both played piano. At times they played the piano at the same time in crazy positions, standing, kneeling on bench and over each other.
Zacchaeus Kimbrell* (on right) and Jacob Nuti* (on left)
*Click on names to read about them
Jacob was the local police investigating 'said murder' at a birthday party.
Zacchaeus played 6 different guests at the party. He seamlessly transition into each character...w/o a wardrobe change. He changed his voice, mannerisms and walking.
This play started off a bit slow; however, within about 10 minutes it was rip roaring funny, entertaining we 4 were mesmerized by the talent. They had two standing ovations and and two finale musicals!!
***************
A real life event, happened in the row in front of us.
Out of nowhere an itty bitty spider came from above.
He traveled perfectly down his itty bitty single web between two men in front of us...then it quietly walked on the shoulder of the man in front of me...disappearing. I thought I was the only one who saw it. After the play, Sally asked if I saw it. Thankfully we didn't make eye contact when we saw it because I know we would have giggled uncontrollably.
oooh an own vine yard? that is super ! and we would love the 3 m event... music mayhem and murder could be our motto hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteNice, a personal vineyard. I'm so glad ya'll enjoyed the show.
ReplyDeleteIf I had been there and a spider got one me you would have been seeing another show.

ReplyDeleteThis all sounds like great fun as well as relaxing. A change is as good as a rest! YAM xx
OMG on the Spidey... I would have had to leave or kill it.. the play sounds really wonderful, and a good laugh would be appreciated. great trip you had.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great show, and the spider put on his own show!
ReplyDeleteI remember you sharing a photo of that lovely vineyard before - sounds like a wonderful start to a wonderful vacation!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
Oh no on the spider. Thankfully it was in the row in front of you instead of your row.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting play.
A play sounds absolutely fun and entertaining. And without a cast and crew of 100. I bet this spider was a moment of entertainment for you in the middle of all that. At least you didn't take your brochure and slap one of them in on the shoulder to kill it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting play and kind of a surprise as well. Finding different things like that is always fun.
ReplyDeleteI'd have screamed at that spider. Shudder.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the play was terrific, the two actors sound amazing!
Day one of vacation sounds relaxing. Their property is beautiful and the vineyard is really lovely. Day two sounds entertaining and fun. The spider... eeek. If it was teeny I would have stayed put but, I don't know... just eeeeek. Jerry probably would have lifted up the tiny little single web with spider and done something with it... I don't know! Depends how dark it was.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would leave their home and property. It seems so peaceful and relaxing. Definitely great to get away from the real world for a few days :)
It sounds like you all had a fun time together. I would have swatted that spider after it landed on the person and they would thank me for it when I explained why I hit them.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great start to your vacation!!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Beth
